Alignment
Setup the test equipment as shown below, apply 13.6V
DC power to the transceiver.
The transceiver must be programmed for use in the in-
tended system before alignment is attempted. The RF pa-
rameters are loaded from the file during the alignment
process.
Important
In order to facilitate alignment over the complete switch-
ing range of the equipment it is recommended that the
channel data in the transceiver is preset as the chart be-
low.
The alignment mode is accessed by “Alignment mode”
command from the computer whilst switching on. And it
is operated by the alignment tool automatically.
During the alignment mode, normal operation is suspend-
ed. Use the alignment tool program running on PC.
PLL VCV
¦ Connect the positive lead of the DC voltmeter to
the test point TP1007 (VCV) on the RF-Unit, as
indicated in the figure, and the negative lead to
chassis ground.
¦ Set the transceiver to the high band edge fre-
quency channel, then adjust coil L1016 on the
Unit for 7.25V on the voltmeter.
¦
Key the transmitter, and adjust coil L1017 on the
Unit for 7.25V on the voltmeter.
¦
Next select to the low edge frequency channel
and confirm above 2.00V to 3.00V on the volt-
meter.
¦ Key the transmitter, and confirm above 2.00V to
3.00V on the voltmeter.
PLL Reference Frequency
With the wattmeter, dummy load and frequency counter
connected to the antenna jack, and select band center fre-
quency channel, key the transmitter and adjust VR1001
on the RF-Unit, if necessary, so the counter frequency is
within 100 Hz of the channel center frequency for the trans-
ceiver version.
